Another AAP rescue from a Tallescope Demonstration to take place on 26 April

12th Apr 2013

Due to popular demand after the demonstrations that took place in London earlier this week another has now been confirmed to be held on 26 April at Curve in Leicester.

Aluminium Access Products have now developed a kit of parts that can be added to an existing Tallescope in order to make the equipment comply with the Work at Height Regulations.

They have now developed a kit of parts that can be added to an existing Tallescope which is a stand-alone method of retrieving a casualty from the elevated basket of a 'scope. This has been the method that both the ABTT and the HSE have been encouraging AAP to develop as opposed to total reliance upon other methods such hoists in theatre grids/flyfloors etc. This is, therefore, a significant development.

Venue: The Curve, Rutland Street, Leicester, LE1 1SB

Date: Friday 26th April 2013

Start Time: 11am

End Time: Approximately 1-1:30pm


We encourage all interested parties to attend this demonstration. Pre-registration is encouraged due to security restrictions at the site. Please register your intention to attend with office@abtt.org.uk supplying your full name and organisation/employer.
